~ enforcing chores~ trying to find an answer when my kids say, "Mom! They're having aNOTHER party, and we didn't get invited. We play with them EVERY DAY, Mom. Why aren't we invited?" (I have no answer for these inquiries, so I concentrate on distraction to assuage hurt feelings.)~ scorching hot afternoons~ sunburns on my babies~ sunshine headaches~ bug bites

We will party, on April 17th to be exact ( I am in charge os April RS bday party, ya, getting those invites out soon ) I am sorry that you have to deal with that, I am glad my kids aren't old enough yet to realize we don't get invited either... but then again it isn't in my backyard, so that doubles the hardness. For real though, we should do stuff this summer :) ( other than enrichment stuff ) ( oh sad note, I still have those croutons for you, sitting on the counter looking all lonely because I am a slacker )~C
